It has to be a steep penalty or else no one will abide. Fantasy isn't the first priority, the fact that 10 friends are spread across the country and this is something that brings us together for a great weekend once per year is more important.

We have a 10 man league that drafts in Vegas every year. Since the point of us doing this every year for this to see each other and have a fun weekend in Vegas, we offer a bonus pick to everyone who shows up. So if 4 out of 10 show up (like this past season), then the 4 get a bonus pick before the draft officially starts. We thought at first it may overpower some teams, but two of the 4 missed the playoffs, so we kept the rule. One guy drafted McCoy and Chris Johnson and the other guy drafted Rodgers and MJD. they thought they had the titles locked.

I don't think it matters how they get their yards, but I do like the way Morris runs. Rarely dies he fall backwards. He always runs very hard and is difficult to bring down. He doesn't seem to have much wiggle, but he will bowl you over.

The scoring is the same as you wrote. I don't think it's that big of a deal. It adds more variety and luck to the games. It's like having 6pt passing TDs means the qb position is more important. You just have to draft accordingly.
